How precise is the OFDA2000 when compared to other wool testing measurement technology?
Precision is an indicator of how repeatable a measurement is. The precision of measurement of the mean fibre diameter of a single mid-side or hip-bone sample from a single animal, when conducted by OFDA2000, is as repeatable as a typical mid-side test carried out by a fleece testing laboratory (based on measurements being conducted under standard conditions of use). On a single fleece, the published precision is approximately +/-1.0 to 1.2µm, which is similar to the precision of conventional (laboratory) fleece testing.
